Most of them involving Nicolas Cage

I would make Netflix continue The Santa Clarita Diet. Also that Nicolas Cage Superman movie. I would also want to see him as Batman. Maybe a National Treasure prequel. I have lots of ideas.

They also really, really want me to upload my personal ID docs to their web portal instead of just taking them in person (which I did) despite having a "I prefer not to upload" button. Why is it the lamest jobs always have the most annoying and tedious onboarding processes?

Just in case anyone's wondering, the job market hasn't gotten any better. I'm starting another retail stint at minimum wage despite my years of experience in the same industry. I need a medical exemption to sit at the cash register. The restrooms are gendered despite being single-use. I'm tired.

Boycotting this holiday season? Don't sleep on small businesses!

I grew up as the weird kid who was obsessed with true crime and serial killer trivia. At first I was excited when it became mainstream because I could finally talk about it, but in the light of Monsters and other such series, I can't help but feel that it should have stayed niche and weird.

Stylized illustration of three orcas swimming together. The top and bottom of the piece have a geometric pattern.

In front of the trash on the lower right is a raccoon, eating what appears to be a burger. The top and bottom of the piece have a geometric star pattern.

let's just tell them outright that we do not support generative AI and how it impacts very negatively on the environment, the people and it fundamentally supports the slavery.

Happy International Cat Day, have some super cute Chinese cat paw rope knots. 🐾

A sketchbook sits open on a painterly, messy background. A watermark is in the corner that says "Nickel Art Studio." Ceramic cranes hold the book in place. On the page, sketches of snakes, fish, and monsters exist.

On the left page, two people cuddle under blankets, and there are food items and other sketches around them, including a tree and someone standing with a punching bag. On the right, a watercolor study of a bell-shaped flower, showing both the side and the inside.

Spanning both pages is a sketch of musicians sitting under a wooden structure. Music stands largely obscure the view. In the center, a man is conducting.

The pages are filled with abstract shapes and lines, as well as some text that imply journaling has taken place with words such as "I'm tired of waking up wrong, when do I get to feel right" and "donde a, ou est, where is... my inspiration?"

Sketchbook dump! The first 2 are based off my latest fave book Aurethia Rising by Atlas Laika, and the rest is my usual sketchy nonsense.

I wish to know more about the mushroom guys 👀🍄

A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.

Time to post it again.

That's so thoughtful 😭

someday when the village children gather around to ask me what it was like to live through 2025 I am simply going to start a large and uncontrollable forest fire that rapidly consumes everything they hold dear while they are powerless to do anything but watch

As a cis-enough person I don't usually say this, but I will be there in a few minutes to get a hold of your mom

A pop up notification asking the user if they want to uninstall the Duolingo app (yes)

A screenshot commorating the usage streak of Duolingo: 1567 days

Okay but like I'm mad about it. I know they were futzing with A I already but it has gotten just awful and ridiculous. Was it a great service? No but it made me practice a bit every day and I bonded over it with my husband for 4+ years and THEY'RE the ones being shitty, *I* shouldn't have to quit!

That sounds delicious and I'm gonna have to be physically stopped from eating this soap
